Brentwood Borough Council is working in partnership with Essex Textiles to reduce the amount of textiles that go to landfill.
Collection days are changing for Textiles, these will now take place every Tuesday on 'Textile Tuesday'.
You can leave unsorted textile items in the blue bags provided by Essex Textiles including;
- Clothes
- Shoes
- Handbags
- Belts
- Hats
- Bedding
- Towels
These must be clean and reusable.
They can't collect:
- Carpets
- Duvets
- Pillows
- Quilts
- Rugs
- Soiled/wet/unusable items
- Rags
The Blue bags should be left out every Tuesday. You shouldn't leave bags out overnight as if these become wet they are not reusable.
For more blue recycling bags, call Essex Textiles on 0800 7879071. If you have more than three bags and don't want to leave them out on your collection day you can arrange a special collection with Essex Textiles.
For more information, visit Essex Textiles, call 0800 7879071 or email brentwood@essextextiles.co.uk.
Essex Textiles will collect the bags in a labelled van similar to the picture above.
